Phonon chirality from impurity scattering in the antiferromagnetic phase of Sr2IrO4

A Ataei, G Grissonnanche, ME Boulanger, L Chen… - Nature Physics, 2024 - nature.com
A thermal Hall effect occurs in an increasing number of insulators and is often attributed to
phonons, but the underlying mechanism is not known in most cases. Two main scenarios …

Enhanced thermal Hall effect in nearly ferroelectric insulators

JY Chen, SA Kivelson, XQ Sun - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
In the context of recent experimental observations of an unexpectedly large thermal Hall
conductivity, κ H, in insulating La 2 CuO 4 (LCO) and SrTiO 3 (STO), we theoretically explore …

Phonon thermal hall conductivity from scattering with collective fluctuations

L Mangeolle, L Balents, L Savary - Physical Review X, 2022 - APS
Because electrons and ions form a coupled system, it is a priori clear that the dynamics of
the lattice should reflect symmetry breaking within the electronic degrees of freedom …

Extrinsic phonon thermal Hall transport from Hall viscosity

H Guo, S Sachdev - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Motivated by recent experiments on the phonon contribution to the thermal Hall effect in the
cuprates, we present an analysis of chiral phonon transport. We assume the chiral behavior …

Charged defects and phonon Hall effects in ionic crystals

B Flebus, AH MacDonald - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
It has been known for decades that a magnetic field can deflect phonons as they flow in
response to a thermal gradient, producing a thermal Hall effect. Several recent experiments …

Mirror symmetry breaking in a model insulating cuprate
